Small games to develop the speed of translation in badminton for children/Juegos pequeños para desarrollar la rapidez de traslación en el bádminton infantil

Abstract

Games are the fundamental activity through which children develop physically and intellectually, hence the motivation to research the possible application of several of them in the badminton sports areas of the municipality of Pinar del Río. Taking into account the few games that are used to contribute to the development of physical capacities in this sport, the objective is to elaborate games that develop the speed of translation with this purpose and thus improve the assimilation of this in children of 7-8 years old who practice this sport discipline. For this purpose, empirical methods such as observation and interview were used, within the theoretical methods the historical-logical, the analysis-synthesis, the induction-deduction and as mathematical statistic, the descriptive statistics and within it the percentage analysis were used. The proposed games contain the elements and methodological steps for their application, also including games for translation speed. With the use of these games, athletes feel more motivated in training when they develop this physical capacity.
